ASTANA, Kazakhstan, June 13 . KazMunayGas (KMG),
Kazakhstan's national oil and gas company, and Japan have discussed
the development of low-carbon projects at the Atyrau oil refinery
as part of an interstate agreement signed last autumn, Trend reports.
According to the KMG, the issue was addressed during a meeting
between KazMunayGas Chairman Askhat Khassenov and the leadership of
the Japanese Marubeni Corporation.
It was noted that KMG and Marubeni are awaiting the results of a
study on the feasibility of implementing an environmental
optimization project for the ELOU-AT-2, ELOU-AVT-3 units, and
catalytic cracking units at the refinery. The study is being
conducted by the Japanese Yokogawa Corporation.
The implementation of advanced decarbonization and CO2 emission
reduction solutions at the Atyrau refinery is expected to be
achieved through the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM). If
successful, this experience is planned to be replicated at the
Pavlodar and Shymkent refineries.
Marubeni Corporation, founded in the late 19th century, ranks
among Japan's top five comprehensive trading companies, with a
strong presence in the electrical and industrial plant sectors.
